Wo doggies! My buttcheeks are twitchin’ like
3 sheep in a rain storm—
Bellbottoms are my mom.
The ocean broke loose from its sockets and

and put them in a milk crate. Now
spill them onto your bed. That is how

Hi Mom, sign that says “send money It’s
a college football item. Say something stupid
for the camera. Fuck nuts. Look, hi,

know what to say. What?
